    Tbh a lot of things are just easier to show/explain with images and icons in addition to text.

    And in many cases mouse control is just super handy and fast

    And while a terminal can show all these things… its just not comparable, IMO.

    I wouldt want to write my job application in the terminal, or design a product, or whatever else requires just a smidge of graphics
